Do things seem more bleak than usual in the store and like more rules are being put into place?

Bass Pro announced more layoffs at its manufacturing plants in Lebanon and Bolivar. In the Ozarks aluminum operations, the company reduced its workforce by 10% or around 100 workers, out of its 1,000 team members. In April, Bass Pro laid off 176... — read more 

We are 6 months into the year and I was wondering if anyone had any solid info on possible layoffs or the current health of Basspro. Sales have been slow and there’s talk of departments combining. Noticed a lot of areas of the store aren’t getting... — read more 

Funny how this store has huge lack of communication between employees and management. They love cutting hours, all they want us to do is get credit cards. As we bust our butts they get bonuses, but can’t give us a pay raise. And favoritism is really... — read more 

I’m writing this post as an information board to see if anyone has a better understanding of the corporate changing I’m hearing about happening in March. Senior leads and the GM/ASM positions getting knocked down, CLUB performance write ups/firing... — read more 

If I'm not mistaken, there are some store closings at the start of each year. Am I misremembering this? If not, any thoughts on which locations will be targeted?

I heard someone had a great complaint that went straight to the old man, then the edict was issued. Why is the cabin an issue?

Our store never has fish stuff in stock. Anyone else? Really starting to grind my gears. People come to the bass expecting stuff for… you guessed it… BASS. What the heck! What do I tell them when the poles are all gone. Bait, line, fish gear, not... — read more 

Academy Sports is kicking our butts. New stores all over!

Hi there! Is anyone aware of the cutoff date for deciding on COBRA and the expiration of our benefits?

Has anyone else heard that we will be getting rid of club managers and going to a team lead? Rumor is another department manager probably front end will be over club and it’s going to have a team lead now.

My store hasn’t had an HR employee since last year. Ever since I’ve been working completely insane hours and everyone’s time off/available hours have been completely ignored. There’s some serious issues that we have no one to talk to or mediate with... — read more 

A lot of theft. We tried to get more club cards. But just didn't work out. The shoplifters don't sign up for credit cards.

Retail Sorter has been out of service for 3 weeks, the primary sorter for the building. Are we out of money? Why would a company like this allow your primary sorter be down for so long? Read the writing on the wall people they are going to shut... — read more 

Our store hired half a dozen bed bath and beyond employees from a shutdown store and they can’t handle how we do things. Constantly complaining about shift times and lack of resources. We gave a lot of them positions that haven’t been filled in a... — read more

Now how did the Cabelas layoff site work out for Cabelas. Although i am pretty sure most people would think a site like the Cabelas layoff com had no effect on the outcome. I am pretty sure nothing positive came out of the site and hopefully no... — read more 

If ops support would watch customers in the store and stop watching the employees then maybe the store in macon ga would not have to cut hours so much, they are watching employees to see what they are doing so they can run back to managers when the... — read more 

Anyone else a little worried that RedHead/Cabelas products are getting huge price increases and hours being cut earlier than usual? I’ve seen some items have $50 price increases.

Macon ga store it is sad the way employees are treated like cr-p, we have no workers as they are cutting hours like crazy and the workers that are full time are having to do everything, there are days you don't have people in some of the department's... — read more 

Company let most of their maintenance managers go in an attempt to save money. The facilities department as a whole has been decimated and they abandoned a lot of their preventative maintenance programs. Getting worse and will take years to get... — read more 

Anyone else’s store run down going into the holidays? I feel like we haven’t done repairs in years and everything is broken.

Heckuva job

They want to cut payroll even more. Sinking ship.

I started bass pro not long ago and the club manager is absolutely horrible to me. She treats me like cr-p and starts rumors. I went to HR but he is too new and out GM is never in the store.

Anyone have a better understanding of why price increase got insane over the last month for products just at bass pro and why the southern market is getting screwed on inventory? We have things marked 10-20 percent higher than at academy or most... — read more

Over $5 for gasoline. Over $6 for diesel. This will be a rough summer.

I’ve been with this company for 5 years and it really feels like things are coming to a stand still with employees. This new review process has really gotten under my skin and for the past 2 months I’ve only been allowed 35-37 hours a week as a full... — read more 

Aren't we due another restructuring? That seems to be the main tool management uses when they need to pretend they're doing something.

Is pretty bad when they conserve full-time 37 hours or less. To me full time is 40 hours, and the management sucks they expect one person to do everything & know everything! Everyone that’s good has Already left or plan on leaving. In micromanage... — read more 

Keep cutting back the full-time hours to encourage to them to leave. Eventually a part-timers ran store will turn off customers looking for experienced help. I think the company is not getting the best corporate decision makers. Something something... — read more 

I’m gone! It was exhilarating! It was also kind of sad that I was ignored by upper management my entire last 2 weeks. They wouldn’t even look me in the eye. HR full on ignored my questions when asking about my retirement. I know I put my all into... — read more
